Updates
Paradiski celebrates 10 years of the Vanoise Express Cable Car
On December 20th, 2003, skiers embarked for the first time on the Vanoise Express cable car. To celebrate this anniversary, Paradiski has asked the haute-couture designer, Jean-Charles DeCastelbajac, to decorate the Vanoise Express. The world-renowned artist and innovator will decorate the double-decker Vanoise Express cable cars, on display during the winter of 2013/2014.
Paradiski Gravity
This year Paradiski is hosting “Paradiski Gravity” on December 16th, 2013. A world first in "highline," the high-altitude slack line will be strung between two cable cars 1,246 ft high. Two of the world's best 'highliners,' Julien Millot and Tancrede Melet will negotiate their way along the rope, which will be suspended over the valley between the two cable cars of the Vanoise Express, defying gravity against a breathtaking backdrop.
Largest Igloo Village
Following the first winter’s success, Les Arcs’ Igloo Village comes back even bigger and better, announcing two exciting new updates:
• An even bigger village (4,305 square ft, exclusive to France) comprising an ice sculpture gallery and several new rooms inviting guests to spend the night. • Igloo rooms, inviting nature lovers to immerse themselves for one night in an arctic atmosphere, comfortably cocooned in expedition duvets.
